One Hundred Push-ups..


h1 July 2nd, 2008

(Yes Robbie, I am too scared to post in the thread on PSB :D )

For those playing the home game, here is a link: http://hundredpushups.com/index.html

And I figured.. Hey, why not.. I went from a game of netball, an hour of squash and an hour of laps every week for about 8 weeks, to only the squash, around the end of March.. And its just not enough. I have no energy, I feel blah all the time.. I’m planning a wedding and, along with other issues, I think my lack of energy is definately contributing to me just not being excited.

So what the heck..

I’m only on week one, and I started on Monday. Also, I have to be honest, I am doing the “girl” push ups on my knees, deal with it.

Initial test: 10

Please postpone my order of bodies


h1 June 20th, 2008

Thankyou all for your interest, and don’t get me wrong I still want your bodies!!

Please reserve yourselves for an afternoon in late July. I don’t know which one yet, but soon as I do you’ll collectively be the first to know :D

<3 Nay

I need bodies


h1 June 10th, 2008

About 15 of them actually. Dig it:

St John needs new up-to-date photos of people doing a first aid course. So, naturally, we’re staging it :D

I need about 15 people on Wednesday 25th June 2008 during the day between 9am and 5pm. It’ll only be a couple hours, but I don’t know if it’s a morning thing or an afternoon thing just yet. Morning/ Afternoon tea will be provided, and we’ll throw in goodies like little first aid kits so you can go home and patch up your families :P

We’re after class shots, so a group of people doing CPR on manikins, posing with the “trainer”, bandaging each other etc. And the shots are promotional, so they’re likely to be used on our website, in new brochures etc.

Leave a comment if you’re interested and I’ll sms/ email more info to you as it becomes available!

Some updates on life


h1 June 7th, 2008

I’ll get the work stuff outta the way first. Yesterday the last of the new Schools trainers was inducted. I now have 8 trainers; 8 people who’s lives I control! I’m a bit more conscious of the rosters now, as all but one of them are casual, and looking for as many dollars as possible. I remember those days at Maccas and the call centre, so I’m doing my best to keep it fair. And the travel… Although one of the new girls lives in Willetton, which will make my rostering life a bit easier!!

Bike goes well, although I’ve been sick this week so was lazy and drove.. My wallet is paying the price, fuel is ridiculous! Back in the saddle next week!

Rob’s Granny turned 90 the other day, so we’re heading to Collie tomorrow for birthday lunch. We’ve actually been in Bunbury the last couple weekends, I’m sure Ben and Tiff are getting sick of us!

Mum comes down next weekend for a dress fitting!! She’s making my wedding dress, and next weekend will be the first fitting with the real one- she made a draft in calico and curtain material first :D Can’t wait to go swishing around in the real material, and still with 17 weeks to go!! Sez, we should find some time to catch up and talk about Mum’s dress too, we can show Mum what you meant because I think my explanation just confused matters :P

And Tiff has a big giant belly which kicked me :D We met her sister’s tiny new baby last weekend, Amelia is beautiful. And Lukas is old enough to want to hold her like the adults, so I have some very cute pix of Amelia laying across his lap, just gorgeous. Made me terribly clucky, but Mother has informed me if I put on any weight before the wedding and don’t fit into my dress, I’m in big trouble! Oh well, couple years yet..

I think thats about it for now, we’re very boring it seems!

The Virago gets saddle-bags


h1 April 26th, 2008

Yay! I rode down to my Aunt and Uncle’s place yesterday and bribed them to help me put these bars, brackets and bags on properly. Rob followed me in the car to actually get all the items there, as I clearly hadn’t worked out how to put them on my bike..

It involved a small amount of swearing, long lunch and coffee breaks, and a trip to Bunnings because I hadn’t realised that more nuts and bolts would be required! But eventually, everything was put back together in the right order, with minimal spare parts left over.

Check it out on Facebook!

Many thanks to Heather, Steve, Robbie, and neighbour Carl, for coffee, lunch, use of tools, and lots of cable ties :D

Term 1 down, 3 to go.


h1 April 11th, 2008

Last day of Term 1. How sad that even though I didn’t become a teacher and go into a school, I feel such relief on this day. As of this afternoon, my four trainers have taught 4,951 kids between years 4- 11 first aid, since Friday 22nd Feb (week 3). Thats nearly 5000 kids who can now put mummy in the recovery position, check if she’s breathing, and call an ambulance. And in the case of the High Schoolers- can start CPR if she’s not.

For the financial year (starting 1st July 07) that brings us to 10,834 students trained. We’re over two thirds the way to our target of 15,000 by end of financial year, and well on our way toward our target of 20,000 for the 2008 school year. And there are literally thousands more booked in for training in the coming term, so I have no doubts that both targets will be met by their deadlines.

Holy Crap.

In other news, the wedding is being planned. A few more things have been ticked off the ridiculously long list and now it sounds much less daunting when I say “25 weeks tomorrow!”. We’ve now got the big things done- venues, photographer, celebrant. I’m starting to get a bit excited now, even bought myself a curling iron last night!

 And finally, my other favourite thing to keep you all updated on- my vehicles. No I haven’t crashed again, thanks for asking. I’m one bolt and a few lengths of wire away from getting my saddlebags onto my bike- have to move the indicators out of the way for the brackets. Unfortunately, spending the next 2 Saturdays on a course means I can’t get to a SuperCheap or similar, but in 3 weeks time I’ll be hoping for about 4hours of good weather to camp in my courtyard and play with my bike! Hey Robbie can you warn Uncle Steve I’ll prolly be on your doorstep crying for help around that time? Thanks :D

And that ought to about do it. Consider yourselves updated.
